a good way for 16 year olds to make money? (online or offline)?

im 16 and i live in a little town i have asked every shop every cafe and every pub i cannot get a job anywhere. either they do not have any jobs available or there only hiring over 18s.

There is a year long waiting list for paper rounds at the moment (As there is only 1 news agents) and you get £8 a week for delivering 60-80 papers 6 days a week i have done this before and it rains ALOT! here even in summer and it was a lot to ask at the time and there are no paper rounds left.

I have asked the pubs and they said they are not hiring anymore glass collectors, or if they are they want 18 year olds because they can serve aswel as collect glasses.

I can't babysit because every here hires family to do that sorta thing as its not a very big town and every1 has family living here.

i have considered doing online survey to get money i have seen that is a good way to make money can i do it if im 16?

could anyone recommend a few good websites?

or any other way i could try to make money?

thanks in advance :)

    Fast Food!!! They hire from age 14. Most teens get their first job at McDonalds, Dairy Queen, Wendys, Burger King etc.

    I'd be very careful with online stuff - many of those sites are scams!

    Other jobs for teens (usually 14 up)

    - library clerk, gas station attendant, dishwasher, bus boy/girl, street vendor - like shaved ice stand.

    - yard work - mowing lawns, pulling weeds, picking up dog poo - talk to your neighbors, put up flyers in your community etc.

    - cleaning someone's house, or helping a senior - with cleaning, shopping, chores etc.

    - working at a theatre, ice cream parlour, amusement park, local summer festival, arena, hotel

    You have to keep trying and keep applying/sending in your resume, following up etc....since jobs aren't easy to come by these days. You want to be there when the first opening comes up. I'd say fast food is your best bet!!! They always hire teens!!!

    Good luck!!! ☺☺☺

    Trading binary options online is not as complicated as many people think it is. Read here https://tr.im/sytwO

    You don’t have to be an economics expert in order to make money by trading binary options. The charts allow you to predict the future course of an asset by finding patterns in its past price movements, and after all this what we need to win a binary trade.

    Don't be intimidated by the charts, actually they are not that hard to read and understand. Strategies that are based on reading and analyzing charts are part of the technical analysis area.

    When it comes to finding ways to earn money, consider a Denver (Colorado, USA) woman that lost her upper management job. She started a simple business picking up dog droppings that led to earnings of over $75,000 a year, working outside, setting her own hours, and could be done using a bicycle as transportation. It is also something a child age 10 and up can do alone, an adult can do, or a whole family can do together. This article describes how.

    In this economy, you need to think outside box. Companies are refusing to take applications from the unemployed resulting in many giving up.
